Of course, those plays come in three steps:
1. Be arrogant and inconsiderate of others.
2. When that behavior is criticized, deny everything.
3. When caught in a way that can't denied, "apologize" in such a way that makes the one the victim.
The bad behavior:

Rep. Lauren Boebert booted from ‘Beetlejuice’ show after disturbance and vaping complaints
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was escorted out of a performance of Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre in Denver Sunday night. She's accused of taking pictures, causing a disturbance, and vaping during the show.
KRDO obtained the incident report that confirmed two people were escorted out during Sunday's performance.
The denial:

Lauren Boebert: Republican lawmaker kicked out of Beetlejuice show for disturbance
Republican lawmaker Lauren Boebert was escorted out of a theatre in Denver during a performance of the musical Beetlejuice, after being accused of disruptive behaviour.
An incident report, which does not name her, says two patrons were asked to leave after complaints of vaping, singing, and causing disturbance.
Her team confirmed the incident but denied that she was vaping.
"I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!," Ms Boebert said on Twitter.
The fake apology:

Video contradicts Lauren Boebert's denial that she was vaping at 'Beetlejuice' show
Surveillance video captured during the "Beetlejuice" musical in Denver on Sunday appears to show Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., vaping inside the theater, which contradicts her aide's claim that the smoke was emitted from fog machines.
The video, obtained by NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver, shows Boebert sitting in the theater next to a man she was with as people around her were still getting seated. It then shows her raise one of her hands to her face, and then a puff of smoke comes out of her mouth toward the person in front of her.
On Friday night, a day after the video was made public, Boebert apologized for her actions and acknowledged she was vaping inside the venue.

“There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family,” the Republican congressmember wrote on social media Friday night. “I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday. That’s unacceptable and I’m sorry.
Boebert’s behavior drew ire from other audience members, including her use of a vape during the show. Initially, Boebert denied vaping and claimed that she was removed from the performance simply for being too enthusiastic.
“It’s true, I did thoroughly enjoy the AMAZING Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre and I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!” Boebert wrote on social media.
Blowing smoke at someone else? And blaming it on divorce?
Really?!?
